Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden, and it delivers: it explicitly states the operation is read-only, reveals that two subsystems are probed, acknowledges the order history requires a session, and specifies the failure/fallback return behavior. This is unusually transparent for a tool definition.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single, well-structured sentence front-loads the purpose and then packs in the probe targets, return semantics, and read-only guarantee. Every clause earns its place with no redundant wording.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter diagnostic tool, the description is complete: it states what is checked, what the possible outcomes are, and the read-only nature. Without an output schema, the description still conveys the return shape well enough for an agent to invoke and interpret the tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has zero parameters and the schema covers 100% of them, so the description need not add parameter detail. The baseline of 4 applies, and the description appropriately focuses on behavior rather than nonexistent inputs.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a specific verb ('Check whether') and a clear resource (the Rami Levy connection), and it details exactly what is probed: catalog search and session-authenticated order history. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like view_cart or add_item, which perform concrete shopping operations.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The intended use case is clear: verify that the Rami Levy connection is working. It does not explicitly list alternative tools or exclusion conditions, but the health-check framing makes it obvious when this tool is appropriate versus the sibling operations.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
